Plants capture sunlight to acquire energy needed to produce their own food. Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration provides usable energy for the cell in the form of ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are products of cellular respiration.

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle. For each glucose that enters glycolysis,

klio [65]

Answer:

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, 2 acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

SYNTHESIS OF 2Acetyl CoA -:

The glucose is transformed into 2pyruvate (6 carbon molecules are converted into 2 -3 carbon molecules) during glycolysis. In both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, glycolysis occurs frequently. This process takes place in the cytoplasm (it does not require oxygen or mitochondria), but if both oxygen and mitochondria are present, two molecules of pyruvate join mitochondria and prepare for citric acid cycle.

Until entering this, the molecules go through a mechanism known as the linked (connects glycolysis with citric acid cycle) reaction, in which the pyruvate molecule is transformed into 2 acetyl CoA (meaning 3 carbon molecules are converted into 2 carbon molecules) and a carbon molecule is released in the form of $2CO_2$ (waste product).

2NAD+ and NADH are synthesized in the linked reaction, implying that reducing power is produced. It means that electrons from pyruvate are released in the form of hydrogen, which 2NAD+ accepts and reduces to form 2 NADH.

$Glucose$ → $2pyruvate$ → $2Acetyl CoA$

Linked reaction is also known as oxidative -dicarboxylation.

Hence, 2 Acetyl CoA is required to enter citric acid cycle.

Edward Jenner’s smallpox inoculation experiment was based on an observation by a dairymaid that she could not get smallpox becau

I am Lyosha [343]

the way that Jenner form his hypothesis from this observation is : he asked what would happen if he deliberately inoculated someone with cowpox fluid from another person based on that observation he crated an experiment which later proof that you can't get another pox if you already experienced it once
